The topic is roughly the same, with the extra political dimension: which political parties are engaged in the incitement, did ANYONE condemn it apart from Foreign Ministry, comparisons with politics in Europe etc. e.g. are there any other government ministers or ruling coalition members recommending shooting “infiltrators” on the spot etc.

Concerning color revolutions, there were not that many, Ukraine, Georgia, Serbia, Kyrgyzstan. Arab Spring revolutions are quite different, in Libia, Syria, Mali and Yemen they created or increased internal chaos, in Tunisia and Egypt they probably lead to Islamists governments with some progressive traits, in Bahrain it was suppressed etc. Hard to see any “globalization of economies”.

Among the classic color revolution, the unequivocal success can be declared for Montenegro which has candidate member status for EU and NATO. In Ukraine, neither is popular and “revolution” was reversed. In Kyrgyzstan, neither could be contemplated, and there was already color counter-revolution fomented by Russia. Georgia is a special case, but effectively this is part of another trend: pipeline politics. This is where the real action is, and a competent conspiracy theorist can find rich paydirt with convoluted intrigues by the dozen.

It seems that “everybody” in Eastern Europe got a grant from Soros at some point, but it is quite naive to think that this gives control of events. For example, Poland may seem to be a Soroslandia. Foundation of Stefan Batory was created with auspices of OSI, and it seems to be very connected to political and economic elite, and the current government. Those people are absolutely hated by the people of the previous government and the current main opposition that adores Victor Orban of Hungary.

And Orban, dubbed “Victator of Orbanistan” by his detractors, had his share of Soros grants in the past.

Color revolution is a yet different story, and they did not open any economies for anything.

I would love to know what you’re smoking.

Rowan seems to follow too much paranoid websites where phrase “Rotschild Zionist and commie” are applied to George Soros. I think that neither Rotschilds (large family, and I know details) nor Soros are among the benefactors of Zionist or neo-con think tanks, settlements or pet Israeli politicians. Plus he publicly criticized Israeli government, and donated to J-Street. That makes him a heretic among main-line Zionists, and in the same time “too Zionist” for many commenters here. The train of the Zionist project departed from the station of Liberalism some time ago, so Zionists who are stranded on that station do not have easy life.

By the way of contrast, Michael Bloomberg was very active in fund raising for Joe Lieberman who is a zealous Zionist and probably belongs to the network of Zionist fat cats (I doubt that his munificence was limited to Lieberman). If his secretary calls the office of an Israeli minister, the minister listens.

Jerusalem seems to have more effective thugs than Tel-Aviv, they honed their skills on Palestinians and Christians. The perpetrators of the arson are probably among “usual suspects” known to police, but if they do not brag about what they did, they may remain at large.
